Part III: Trauma-Yinformed Teaching
If poetry is the language against which we have no defences, then yin may just be the practice. It’s time to surrender to the most in-depth yin yoga teacher training journey yet.
Gabor Mate’s highlight on his work on trauma has highlighted the necessity of yoga teachers - as navigators of the psycho-somatic bridge - having greater skills and knowledge in this area. This advanced course is created to do exactly that: Educating teachers who are highly skilled in sharing trauma-informed and embodied yin teaching and healing with their students.
Yin is a practice that can be meditation, interoception, somatic psychotherapy, the absolute essence of functional yoga teaching - we are all unique because our skeletons are different, and as confronting a mirror to the self as an hour spent with a great therapist. It is deeply revealing, a potent space to get to know oneself, an intimate container to practise true vulnerability, and a deeply accessible and practical way to heal what needs healing.
Note! This training is for the students that have taken The Art of Yin Parts I and II. If you have yet to embark on the journey, read here for more details about The Art of Yin Part I.
The Art of Yin is the only Senior Teacher Trainer Pro-facilitated 100-hour yin training accredited by Yoga Alliance Professionals.

What do others say?
Check what other Yoga Teachers & Teacher Training students thought about it:
Having completed Part I with Grace, I wanted to dive deeper into yin. Part II exceeded any expectations. It brought me closer to myself and to the questions I had been pondering from Part I. I experienced the simple act of holding space not only for myself but also for others as a yoga teacher.
Grace’s teaching of the shadow was effective and concise. The confronting yet enlightening nature of shadow work brought the whole course together for me and I found myself coming to realisations I had been searching for some time.

Part II hasn’t just made my teaching better it has made it more enjoyable, free-er and more authentic.
I found training with Grace, conversations with Grace to be unwaveringly honest, generously open, insightful, and authentically supportive. I feel that a lot of this is rare and all of it is immensely useful.
That thing where you recommend a book to someone and there’s almost a reluctance because you’re quite jealous they haven’t read it? This training – that.
